Quoting: Julius"Open-Source"... to a very limited extent since it uses the Unity3D engine.

You might want to change the head-line as "Free and Open Source" usually refers to FOSS, and this isn't FOSS at all. Even the assets are under a restrictive NC license.

I disagree. Code under a FOSS license is still FOSS. This also applies to the assets, we say happily things like OpenMW and OpenRA are FOSS but they also need proprietary assets. One part not being FOSS doesn’t mean the part that is FOSS suddenly isn’t.

Quoting: LightkeyAnother one to add: Chips and Cheese [External Link] wrote a deep dive on the Van Gogh APU.

That’s noted in the video already, linked in the L3 cache issue.

Quoting: Guestoooo i hope Life by you gets a Linux release.

I don't expect any Native Linux releases from Paradox outside of PDS stuff using their strategy game engine. Not that it's really a big issue with Proton as good as it is right now.

Quoting: katp32Anyone know if this bundle includes DRM free copies or just Steam keys? Last time I bought a bundle I was disappointed :<

It tells you on each game where they can be redeemed (Steam).

Quoting: EikeWith a bit of surprise I found that my statistics don't contain that I own a Steam Deck (as it's not my primary device).

Hmmm yes, that brings up a good point. Need to think on a way to include it regardless, and potentially other handhelds. Open to suggestions.

I've got several portables (they're my jam :grin:), but given that there are so many variations out there (both natively Linux, and that are supported by Linux but don't come with it by default), I'd suggest perhaps having a checkbox (something like "Do you own a Linux handheld?") and a blank field to fill in which one(s) you have.

I'm not sure how one would handle a handheld being someone's primary Linux gaming device, though (which is the case for me - my listed specs are for my GPD Win Max 2021, but I game in different ways on all four of my Linux portables) - perhaps a second checkbox to denote that, as well?

At any rate, portables are popular, and even if Valve opts not to continue with the Steam Deck in the end, the category itself isn't going to go anywhere. :smile:

Yeah, this is why I would prefer to keep an open question for it, I'll think some more on how to best arrange it.

The problem with such a defined question like "Do you have a Steam Deck" is that I'm always thinking on the future: Steam Deck 2, if they just decide in a year or two not to continue it etc. Having such a singular focus question is not ideal to keep in the survey, because eventually it might need to just be removed hmmm.

Quoting: Sil_el_motGreat news!
Do i need to consider anything during the installation? The game doesnt start after installation of it and proton-eac.

Did you restart Steam as noted in the article?

Quoting: Liam DaweAs mentioned right above the screenshots, it's using NVIDIA NIS.

Well it says "With everything set to Low, with multiple in-game scaling methods tried like AMD FSR, NVIDIA NIS and dynamic resolution " so that's three differing technologies. But i take your point. I guess it looks bad because of the NIS.

No, what you quoted is talking about Steam Deck. Below the video talks about desktop and explains the settings there.

Quoting: LoftyIs it the upload quality , jpg compression or are you adding extra sharpening to the screenshots here? The image fidelity looks very poor. There is too much haze and edge sharpening going on, kind of looks like a screenshot taken with a cell phone.. or is that the look nowadays with all these scaling temporal technologies combining with FXAA, TSAA etc.

As mentioned right above the screenshots, it's using NVIDIA NIS.
